Question

Anyone have experience with Dust JS? I’m having problems compiling templates with data which has spaces in some of the keys

JSON Data:

{"Street Address": "12 Coventry Road"}

Dust Template
{Street Address}

Street Address never gets parsed 🙁

In Handlebars JS, you just wrap keys with spaces in square brackets but that doesnt seem to work in Dust JS

Eg {{[Street Address]}}

Anyway hoping someone can help, as I much prefer the functionality of Dust over Handlebars

From Dust.js Homepage:

The Dust parser is finely tuned to minimize the amount of escaping that needs to be done within static text. Any text that does not closely resemble a Dust tag is considered static and will be passed through untouched to the template’s output. This makes Dust suitable for use in templating many different formats. In order to be recognized as such, Dust tags should not contain extraneous whitespace and newlines.
